AI Industrialization: CIOs Take Action!

The IDC CIO Summit 2026 is the strategic gathering for CIOs and technology leaders committed to building the networked enterprise of tomorrow. As we approach 2027, the challenge is no longer technology experimentation, but operational performance at scale.

 

đź“… Wednesday, November 25, 2026

📍 CarrĂ© Edouard VII – Paris, France

👥 Over 80 CIOs and IT Directors expected

🔒 Free access, reserved for CIOs, IT Directors and technology decision-makers — validated at registration

Context

Designed with an Advisory Board of CIOs and IT Directors from major groups (Danone, Vallourec, Edenred, Bonduelle, Aéroports de Paris, Constellium, Herta, Albea Group…), the IDC CIO Summit 2026 answers the questions every CIO is asking today: how to orchestrate seamless and secure collaboration between human intelligence, algorithms and autonomous agents? How to know who in the company is really using AI, and with which indicators to measure whether its adoption creates value rather than risk? And with the multiplication of cyberattacks, what trade-offs must the CIO make between fast innovation and control of their information system?

An event designed by and for IT decision-makers, to exchange among peers.

Industrializing Agentic AI: the 5 strategic decisions CIOs must make now to move from experimentation to managing an autonomous enterprise

After the wave of generative AI and copilots, companies are entering a new phase: that of agents capable of executing business processes and collaborating with human teams. Drawing on market data and international analyses, Andrea Siviero (IDC) will decode the key trends and the five strategic decisions CIOs must make today to move from experimentation to the industrialization of AI, and to successfully enable collaboration between intelligent agents and business teams within the autonomous enterprise.

Orchestrating the Autonomous Enterprise: how can AI agents, data, and business systems be connected?

Behind the promise of the autonomous enterprise lies a major challenge: effectively connecting AI agents, data, and business systems. This session explores the challenges of IT orchestration and the architectural choices required to move from isolated use cases to seamless, scalable execution of business processes.

9:35AM

Panel #1 – From Generative AI to Autonomous Agents : How CIOs Are Rethinking Team Structure and Their Own Role

Agentic AI is transforming the very nature of work: agents capable of acting within the information system, automating business processes, and collaborating with human teams.

How should an AI Center of Excellence be structured? How can IT and business teams be aligned? Which KPIs should be used to measure the performance of these new hybrid “human + agent” systems? CIOs share their best practices and real-world feedback.

Applications and workstations in the age of AI: how to keep control over security, costs and technology choices?

AI, hybrid work and budget pressure are reshuffling the deck: delivering applications and workstations is no longer an infrastructure topic, it is a lever of control for the CIO. How can you secure every access, on any type of device, without burdening your IT systems or locking yourself in with a single vendor? How can you keep the choice between cloud, on-premises and sovereign hosting, while containing costs? Arnaud Tonazzi, VDI and EUC expert, shares candid field experience and concrete criteria to decide. With Parallels.

Technical Debt and Agentic AI: The Invisible Prerequisite Before Scaling

Your AI agents are only as reliable as the data and processes they run on. Fragmented architecture, years of stacked customizations, inconsistent process definitions across subsidiaries: this is often where agentic AI projects fail to move from experimentation to production — more so than the choice of model. This session proposes a simple principle to guide the decision: keep a clean, standardized application core, and customize only at the edges, so that every new agent inherits a reliable foundation rather than a pile of workarounds. With SAP.

10:35AM

Workshop #1 – How can you govern AI without slowing innovation? Security, sovereignty, and compliance: the concrete trade-offs to make now

How can you govern AI without slowing innovation?

AI Act, Shadow IT, data sovereignty: CIOs are navigating between regulatory pressure and business units deploying at full speed. This workshop breaks down false dilemmas, provides an actionable three-level AI governance framework, and shows how to turn compliance into a competitive advantage rather than a constraint.

10:35AM

Workshop #2 – Is your IT system ready for agentic AI? The diagnostic workshop to assess your level of visibility before scaling

Architecture, data, governance: three blind spots that make AI deployments in enterprises fail — often because no one sees what is really happening once the agents are in production. This hands-on workshop guides you through assessing your own level of operational visibility over your AI systems, with a diagnostic grid to take away, the priorities to address first, and field feedback from CIOs in the same situation. Run with Datadog.

11:10AM

Coffee break & networking

11:30AM

From uncontrolled costs to controlled spending: the keys to managing the digital workplace as a service

In a context of increasing budget pressure, CIOs must shift from a model of reactive, unmanaged costs to a more precise and predictable approach to managing the IT workplace. This session with Devicenow shares practical levers and best practices to transform the digital workplace into a service, increase agility, and align IT challenges with financial and business priorities.

Panel #2 – Sovereignty and Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: which trade-offs do CIOs really need to make and which can be avoided?

As AI adoption accelerates, CIOs must strike the right balance between rapid innovation and risk control. This panel explores the key structural decisions around sovereignty, cybersecurity, and data governance, with concrete feedback and real-world insights on how to secure AI use cases without slowing down large-scale adoption.
